No magic is required. The development version (master branch) of MXE 
already has Qt 5.0.0 in modular form. Use "make qtbase" to build qtbase, 
for example. Use "make JOBS=4 qtbase" to buld it faster on a multicore 
system.

It seems to be working pretty well, although you might have to fix paths 
in .prl files due to an upstream problems.

It's true that webkit is excluded for upstream reasons. For one thing, 
it doesn't work with static linking. Also, as I understand there is also 
an upstream problem building webkit on MinGW.

By the way, cross building no longer requires a separate mkspec. This is 
new in Qt 5.
